Skin autofluorescence is associated with carotid intima-media thickness, diabetic microangiopathy, and long-lasting metabolic control in type 1 diabetic patients. Results from Poznan Prospective Study

TL;DR: Skin AF is a reliable marker of past glycemic control of diabetes and increased accumulation of AGEs is related to the presence of diabetic microangiopathy as well as subclinical macroangiopathi in patients with type 1.

HIGH MYOPIA AND DIABETIC RETINOPATHY: A Contralateral Eye Study in Diabetic Patients With High Myopic Anisometropia.

TL;DR: A protective role for high myopia against DR was established in diabetic patients with high myopic anisometropia using a contralateral eye study design, preventing the influence of potential confounding factors inherent in similar previous case–control studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cataract and type 1 diabetes mellitus

TL;DR: Data indicate a high prevalence of cataract in subjects with type 1 DM attending a general hospital in Southern Brazil and suggest that the more severe the disease process the greater is the risk of having this diabetic complication.
Journal ArticleDOI

The correlation of common carotid arterial diameter with atherosclerosis and diabetic retinopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

TL;DR: The CCA diameter may serve as a useful marker for atherosclerosis and diabetic retinopathy, and in particular, may be a marker associated with diabetic Retinopathy more clearly than the carotid IMT and plaque score, in patients with T2DM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single nucleotide polymorphisms of vascular endothelial growth factor gene intron 2 are markers for early progression of diabetic retinopathy in Japanese with type 1 diabetes

TL;DR: Certain SNPs in intron 2 of the VEGF gene are associated with early progression of retinopathy in Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes, though their contributions were weakened by glycemic exposure.

The Wisconsin epidemiologic study of diabetic retinopathy. VI: Retinal photocoagulation

TL;DR: Seventy-two percent of eyes of younger onset and 45% of Eyes of older onset persons that had received panretinal photocoagulation treatment were found to have incomplete regression of retinal new vessels, and in approximately half of these eyes severe proliferative retinopathy (Diabetic Retinopathy Study High Risk Characteristics [DRS-HRC]) was present.

TL;DR: Data from the Diabetic Retinopathy Study (DRS) show that photocoagulad inhibited the progression of retinopathy, and beneficial effects were noted to some degree in all those stages of diabeticretinopathy which were included in the Study.

The Wisconsin Epidemiologic Study of Diabetic Retinopathy: IX. Four-Year Incidence and Progression of Diabetic Retinopathy When Age at Diagnosis Is Less Than 30 Years

TL;DR: This paper performed a population-based study in southern Wisconsin of insulin-taking diabetic persons diagnosed before 30 years of age and found that the incidence of proliferative retinopathy rose with increasing duration until 13 to 14 years of diabetes, thereafter remaining between 14% and 17%.

The Reproducibility of a Method to Identify the Overuse and Underuse of Medical Procedures

TL;DR: A parallel, three-way replication of the RAND-University of California at Los Angeles appropriateness method as applied to two medical procedures, coronary revascularization and hysterectomy, found that the appropri ateness method is far from perfect.
